Some fun facts about you—both in work and outside of work:
I started at Eastern working in the factory, operating machines like printers and cutters. This hands-on experience gave me valuable product and process knowledge, which I now use to guide and advise clients in my project management role. I also create content for social media, which allows me to express my creativity.
In my free time, I love to draw, read, play video games, and spend time with my husband, dog, and friends.
